I was wondering if the AI could be revamped a bit, namely for the Federation and Kingons. After playing a few rounds recently I noticed that they were both especially easy to beat. Maybe this has to do with the tech tree but they seem to take much longer get their heavy ships, and they build fewer ships in general.
I also had another idea. When you assign units to a fleet maybe you could have the unit acknowledgments change to something like "Federation 3rd fleet reporting" and "Roger, Fleet engaging". I'm not even sure if this is possible but I though it would be kind of cool. It would be useful in helping you remember which fleet you're actually selecting if you happen to bumble with the keys.

As far as I know, the AI is changed for v3 full... but v3PR will not be redone as v3 is the priority. ...but I am sure that suggestions are extremely welcome (if they haven't already been implemented)  I like the second idea; I always wanted the fleets to behave more like...well...fleets  |

I warn you this was made to give me a challenge so is not for the norvice player... specially if you dare to face two at the same time...

good old fashioned email should do it, i will rumage through my hard drives later after work and try to find it since i aint touched it in a year and send it to the three people who have contacted me about it. I would appreciate any bug reports so i can amend it. Thanks

ok ok i searched through my old back up hard drive and only managed to find my beta release for the Federation so i will have to remake the other races and i noticed its my 0.995 beta which means it just a little of whatwas my 1.0 final so should still offer a mighty challenege minus one or two bugs your have to help me find again.
i have attached the rars here. All files go in your AI\AIPS folder...
This will only change the Federation so please only play the Federation even if you play two or three and then report back to me anything you find and bugs and then ocne the Federation is finished i can move on to the Klingons.
Regards,
Mark
P.S.
I give all credit for the FO mod to the FO team and if they decide they dont wish for me modify their AI and share they can feel free to remove the file at any point.

yhea play agaisnt the feds only with this patch as i could only find my fed beta  but its pretty near my completed one that i cant find on my old hard drive... Well actually let me change that, the newdefault.aip changes how the AI chooses targets and when it decides to attack and with what fleet and so on and that will affect every race... the federation_build_list.aip is a revised build list for the feds which takes advantage of my behaviour changes... this only obviously affects the feds and its the build lists for the other races i need to redo if i cant find my previous ones. so yes the AI will overall be harder for every race but only the federation is currently optimized... hope that didnt cause too much confusion its late here and im jabbering on whilst playing poker.
